Optics from G.P.O

[B100DHOUND]

I found German precision optics at the Western Hunt Expo this year for the price, Their glass and overall quality looked really nice. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on GPO? Specifically spotting scopes but anything helps I can’t find much information.

I momentarily had the 8x40 Rangeguide RF Binos. They lacked edge clarity as you would expect on any "budget" tier glass, but the rest of the glass was way better than it should be. I could distinguish between left and right headlights on a vehicle from about 5 miles away. More than enough clarity for majority of people, and with the RF on tap, it was a great combo.

If I wasn't the experimental type with a lust for a good deal, I would have kept them. I was seriously looking at the Centuri 2.5-15x50 but got a deal on a like new Credo HX. I still may grab one in the future, if another rifle comes into my life.

Their new spotting scope, the Passion APO is pretty good! My dad and I both thought it was very noticeably better that his Vortex Razor. He sold the Razor and had money left over after buying the GPO. I have a Kowa which is obviously better but I cant imagine there is a better value out there for a budget spotting scope. This was the 16-48x65mm. I haven't looked through the bigger one.

I also have the GPO 10x40 rangeguides and my dad has the 12.5x50 Passion HD. Now that meopta can no longer be warrantied in the USA I think GPO is tough to beat for the price.
